Nissan to Launch Solid-State Batteries by 2028
Nissan has confirmed plans to release electric vehicles with solid-state batteries by 2028. This technology promises significant efficiency improvements: a 30% increase in energy density, faster charging, and a longer range on a single charge. Furthermore, such batteries can be used not only in electric cars but also in hybrid models.
“Yes, we will be ready for solid-state batteries in 2028,” said Christophe Amblard, Nissan’s Director of Product Planning in Europe.
However, the company emphasizes that it will not rush the introduction of the novelty until it is convinced of its reliability. The technology involves abandoning liquid elements in batteries, which improves thermal regulation and allows for a more compact layout.
Prospects for Sports Models
There are rumors that solid-state batteries could appear in the next generation of the Nissan GT-R, which is expected by the end of the decade. The company had previously demonstrated a concept with a fully electric powertrain producing 1341 hp, but a final decision on mass production has not yet been made.
Market Competition
Nissan is not the only company developing solid-state batteries. Toyota, Volkswagen, Stellantis, and Chinese manufacturers, including CATL, which plans to start small-scale production as early as 2027, are also actively preparing for this technology. Even tech giants like Xiaomi are showing interest in this area.
Although the exact timelines for mass adoption remain uncertain, it is clear that solid-state batteries will become a key innovation in the automotive industry in the coming years. They could radically change the electric vehicle market, making them more affordable and efficient. Nissan, as one of the pioneers in this field, has every chance to solidify its position among the leaders.
